This Coming Week: CES and Mac App Store.

January 6th, 2011 marks the kick-off for International Consumer Electronic Show in Las Vegas. Companies will be showcasing their upcoming product line-up for 2011. Expect a lot of tablet computing devices from different companies. Android will the the OS Flavor of the show. Microsoft will be there, again with their version of tablet. I’m looking forward to new DSLR cameras from Canon and Nikon. Maybe this year we will see improved consumer level camcorders.

January 6th, 2011 is also the scheduled opening day for Mac App Store. This also means Mac OS X 10.6.6 will be available shortly before the Mac App Store opening.

ADATA S599 Sandforce 128 GB SSD is on sale for $199 at Amazon.

ADATA S599 Sandforce 128 GB SSD is on sale for $199 at Amazon. I paid $249 for the ADATA S599 Sandforce 128 GB SSD back in late October and installed it on my 15-inch MacBook Pro Core i7. It has been a great experience so far. The 128GB of storage space is relatively small, but I’ve learned to organize files better. Having an external FireWire 800 drive is really handy.

Forty-five days into using the an SSD on my MacBoo Pro, I highly recommend it to anyone.
